Tansy is a special girl that everyone is friends with. She is very smart (even though she doesn’t think so). She is beautiful and loves to be around her

friends. She is awkward at times but very charming and funny. She manages to make people feel better when they are down or sad. She is usually seen with her best friend , that everyone judges her for. She is often made fun of being short but ignores it. She loves dank memes.
Tansy is my best friend.

Tansy and Tomas are best friends.
